Bad River Health & Wellness Center

Rooted in the Bad River community of Odanah, Wisconsin, Bad River Health & Wellness Center combines behavioral health treatment with a wider health services program for people in its service area. Its Behavioral Health Department serves adults, adolescents, and children experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and substance use disorder (SUD). The department also operates Nenda Noojimod Recovery House, a recovery program that combines addiction treatment with counseling and cultural support.

Counseling and Mental Health Services

Counselors meet with clients individually, in groups, or with family members to address emotional concerns and communication difficulties. Children and adolescents can receive age-appropriate therapy, while trauma-informed care guides work with people affected by past experiences. The department also works with healthcare providers on medication management for mental health conditions and runs staff-facilitated support groups. Mindfulness workshops teach practical ways to manage stress, practice self-care, and regulate emotions.

Nenda Noojimod Recovery Program

Nenda Noojimod Recovery House offers medication-assisted treatment (MAT) with Suboxone and Vivitrol to manage withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings. Licensed counselors provide 1-on-1 and group sessions as part of its addiction services. Peer support connects participants with people who have personal experience of recovery, while cultural support incorporates traditional practices and spiritual guidance. Clients can contact designated staff separately for medication treatment, counseling, peer support, and cultural services.
